Kamala Harris Grilled Over Not Picking Pete Buttigieg As Running Mate Because He Is Gay

Kamala Harris was grilled by Rachel Maddow on MSNBC over an excerpt from her newly-released book “107 Days” concerning the reason why she did not pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in 2024. Kamala admitted, in the book, that Buttigieg being gay was a factor because she did not think America was ready for a ticket featuring a “black” woman and an openly gay married man. This was her excuse to pick Tim Walz instead. Some think this is simply a cop-out and coverup to hide the fact that the most coveted pick, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, became untouchable due to the heavy influence of antisemitic propaganda within the voting populous of the Democratic Party.

Kamala Harris didn't want Pete Buttigieg to be her running mate because he was gay. She then chose Tim Walz, the most flamboyant man in history. She really is a birdbrain fool.
